Bezirk Zwo

Bezirk Zwo is a Cologne collective, at once a graffiti crew and a painted-decor agency, working on facades, garage doors and interiors as an alternative to conventional advertising. Its founding members include Biatsch One, a writer and graphic designer active since 2000 and the author of large-format murals across Germany. The collective takes commissions for local institutions, from FC Viktoria Köln to the Lanxess Arena, and also runs graffiti, video, dance and music workshops for children. Its vocabulary mixes comic-book characters, lettering and grounds filled edge to edge with pattern.
